Instructions
Preheat oven to 475F. Pierce eggplants several times with a fork. Roast directly on the oven rack (with a sheet pan below to catch drips) for 35-40 minutes until completely collapsed and charred.
Tip: For extra smokiness, char the eggplant directly over a gas burner flame for 2 minutes before roasting.
Let cool slightly, then split open and scoop out the soft flesh, leaving the charred skin behind. Drain excess liquid for 5 minutes in a colander.
Mash the eggplant flesh with a fork (don't use a food processor, you want some texture). Stir in tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and salt.
Spread on a plate, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with smoked paprika and parsley. Serve with warm pita.
